Apple Preparing to Launch 27-Inch LED Cinema Display, Mac Pro Update by June?

I've got to be honest: i like my glossy MBP. I think the screen is tremendously improved, and sure I see a glossy shadow of things behind me occasionally, but it isn't distracting (I also sit in a room with fluorescent light, go figure). I for one would welcome a glossy ACD, but they shouldn't charge more to make it matte, either.
I'm still very interested in the CinemaView monitor. The specs are not quite as good as Apple's, but it's a HECK of a lot cheaper. I think it's worth the trade-off.
And they're designed to look "mac-like" without being actual copies of Apple's displays. They also have the display port connection.
I don't need a new monitor right now, but I'll be keeping my eye on these guys if I ever do.

Dell wants $1100 for their comparable UltraSharp U2711 27-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor, so I would imagine the ACD 27" will be around, say $1399-1499 and Apple will likely phase out the ACD 30".
Hey guys check out this link my friend just sent me. WARNING: THIS IS FAKE ITS NOT REAL AND I'M NOT TROLLING. THIS IS FOR YOU MACBOOKPRO PEOPLE OUT THERE:

Yeah, but why would the time matter if you're not going to be there?
And we don't really know anything about the next Final Cut. They just came out with the last one last year and they tend to be 2 or more years apart.
BUT the last one was a minor update, they're obviously working on a real re-write that Final Cut needs to go from Carbon to 64-bit cocoa. So who knows when THAT will be finished?
Point is, anything Final Cut related is a complete and total guess at this point. There is really no information to base any guesses on right now.
I finally gave up waiting for new large cinema displays last year and bought a used one rather than continuing to wait. I would have been highly annoyed if they came out with new large displays right after my purchase, but at this point I'm glad they are finally back in the ring.
I'd rather use that extra money for RAM and have a faster computer.
But have fun looking at the back of your monitor, I guess.
Lol. These rumours are hilarious. I think I've seen one claiming that the Mac Pro will be out for each month in 2010 from Jan-June. I suppose eventually one of these fake rumours will be true.
Honestly, i know a rumour is just a rumour.. but this is getting ridiculous, these reports are just so vague and made up, quoting "sources ____ apple"
I think them coming out in June is no more likely than them coming out tomorrow.

Interesting. At $499 not bad, although I got the 24" ACD for $799 with a student discount. At first I thought it was a terrible aesthetic rip off of Apple design, but I give them a lot of credit for filling a void left by Apple's neglect. I also appreciate this feature:
Something so small but NECESSARY as the 24" model doesn't even have an on/off switch at the previous ACD models (although I realize it's meant for Apple's notebook line, Apple sells the ATI Radeon HD card with a mini-displayport for their Mac Pro line AND as they sell the 24" displays with Mac Pro's, it should have been an included "feature").
An iPAD is an 9 inch ipod touch, not a computer. Can I do architectural drafting and renderings on a 9-inch ipod touch? Some of us buy Apple products for work..not just because they are shiny and "magical"
Nice but...
... probably glossy and just one displayport
I forgot about that point. Display-port connections can be daisy-chained, which the 24" LED LCD currently doesn't support (one of the many reasons that Apple adopted the display/mini-display port). I was very surprised Apple has yet to adopt that crucial advantage.
Yet, it can be argued that the iPhone/iPod Touch ARE computers
.
NO thats too late. I looking to buy one at around June so this would be perfect for me. Maybe then Light peak will also be in full swing. Mass production was suppose to have started in early 2010.
Superdrives!
The Superdrives are horrible! All of them. Why did the one in my 2006 macbook die. Why won't a new 21" iMac read 1/2 my dvd's when an external drive is fine with it. What is so super about these drives?
Wow. Apple making computers and computer displays. What a novel concept.
Still nowhere near cutting edge, but no one will notice those superdrives until they try to put a Blu-ray in.

Agree and disagree

The long delay here is certainly an issue. For this particular monitor though I'd have to say that the delay might have been caused by some of the same issues seen on the iMacs display. In other words while cost might have been an issue working out the bugs may have been a problem too given iMacs recent history.
This is the hostile attitude I really disagree with. The processors just debuted earlier this week. I just think it is amazing that people think Apple can pull these processors out of thin air. Saddly it is an attitude seen far to much on this forum. The Mac Pros will come when Apple has all of it's ducks in a row. The processor is just one of those ducks.

Not called the Apple cult for nothing...
Steve-o's office at Apple is a windowless garrett where NO natural light EVER shines, and he keeps the electric lights off too, lighting his screen with a single candle placed BEHIND the screen. Yes it does happen to be a red candle, but that doesn't mean anything...
As Steve-o never sees ANY reflections on HIS jackass glossy screen, so you will not either, or else!
Paint your windows black!! Turn off all overhead lights to your rear, ye even the lights in front of you too, or throughout your entire office complex! Light your screen with a single red candle BEHIND it as Steve-o does, or banish thee yourself from Apple products, forevermore!!!
And Steve-o help and have mercy on you if you so much as bring a Blu-ray into the office or surf a website with flash in His holy presence...
